Meet Dallas & Amy.

Dallas is from Delta, BC.
Amy is from Marysville, WA.

First hug in 69 days at Peace Arch. Provincial Parks re-opened this month, allowing the engaged couple to
embrace each other. Border closure has divided them since March.
Meet Twyla & Austin.

Tywla is from Langley, BC.
Austin is from Bothell, WA.

They are divided due to the border closure, but since Peace Arch Provincial Park has re-opened, they could spend time together this week.
Couples divided due to the border closure are meeting at Peace Arch Provincial Park to connect. The border crossing is staggered, which allows for a Canadian to embrace an American.
Before Peace Arch Provincial Park re-opened, Twyla and Austin reconnected on 0 Avenue. But, no touching. They were approached by a border officer and warned.
"Even if we could see each other, our schedules are so busy." - Twyla

Twyla works at the cancer centre at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Austin is an ICU nurse in Washington.
"They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and now I know that is true." - Dallas Singh

Dallas and Amy will be married in 126 days.
Cross-border couples legally reunite at Peace Arch
